It looks like Jay Leno’s move to an earlier time slot didn’t work out as well as NBC had hoped. With lackluster ratings NBC is contemplating bumping Jay Leno into a 1/2 hour slot at the original 11:30 est slot and then bump Conan and Fallon’s show to start at 12:05 and 1:05 respectively. As much as I liked the occasional Jay Leno, 20+ years in the same “role” is already pretty good in my books, retiring now wouldn’t be a huge blow to his repertoire. Conan on the other hand has been able to grab a younger audience which of course is an affiliate’s dream and plus he does have a $50 million penalty clause in his contract which I think NBC would definitely not want to touch. Well and as for Fallon, well….let’s just say I watch it only for ?uest Love.
